Fairway Wood Fitting
A fairway wood has to earn its spot in two completely different situations — off the tee and off the deck. Getting both right means checking sole design and CG placement against your real attack angle, not just grabbing whatever posts the biggest number on the monitor.
The Sole Matters More Than the Spec Sheet
A shallow sole with a rounded leading edge glides through turf on a sweeping attack angle, while a slightly deeper face can help players with a steeper attack angle compress the ball more efficiently off the deck. We test your actual attack angle against several sole profiles rather than assuming one design fits everyone.
Off the tee, the same head needs to hold up on center strikes at driver-adjacent swing speeds without ballooning spin — a balance that shifts significantly between loft options.
Choosing Between a 3-Wood and a 5-Wood
Loft choice in fairway woods is a gapping decision relative to your driver and hybrids, not a standalone one.
13–15° (Strong 3-Wood)
Best for faster swing speeds who need a tee-shot option shorter than driver but still penetrating in flight.
15–17° (Standard 3-Wood)
The most common fairway wood loft range, versatile off the tee and from the fairway for a wide range of swing speeds.
18–21° (5-Wood)
Higher-launching option that's often easier to get airborne from the turf than a long iron or low-lofted hybrid.
